- Quotes by Samuel Butler
“God is Love, I dare say. But what a mischievous devil Love is. To live is like love, all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it. ‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all”. - Quotes by Robert Burns
“My love she’s but a lassie yet. What can a young lassie do wi” an auld man? Ae fond kiss and then we sever. But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love for ever. Had we never lov’d sae kindly, Had we never lov’d sae blindly, Never met – or never parted, We had ne’er been broken-hearted. To see her is to love her, And love but her for ever; For Nature made her what she is, And never made another! JWhistle, and I’ll come to ye, my lad. O, my luve is like a red red rose, That’snewly sprung in June. O my luve’s like the melodie, That’s sweetly play’d in tune. To be overtopped in anything else I can bear: but in the tests of generous love I defy all mankind”.
- Quotes by Edmund Burke
“To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men”. - Quotes by Robert Browning
“She should never have looked at me, If she meant I should not love her! Nay but you, who do not love her, Is she not pure gold, my mistress? Only I discern – Infinite passion, and the pain Of finite hearts that yearn. God be thanked, the meanest of his creatures, Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the world with, One to show a woman when he loves her. O lyric Love, half angel and half bird, And all a wonder and a wild desire”.
